Suddenly, she felt a jolt of realization. “Oh, Luo Yaling, by saying this, aren’t you confessing to him? How frustrating! How could I be so foolish?”
“Please continue,” Shen Yixuan said, offering a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
“Hehe! Sorry, my memory isn’t great. If I’ve offended you, please forgive me. After all, this is our ‘first’ meeting.”
Luo Yaling realized her mistake and tried to smooth things over. She nearly revealed her trump card and hoped to salvage the situation.
“Is that so?” Shen Yixuan’s eyes flashed.
“Yes, yes, yes.” Luo Yaling nodded hurriedly, worried about her glasses falling off. She knew that if she didn’t fabricate a message now, her outcome would be miserable.
“It can’t be true, right?” Shen Yixuan chuckled lightly.
“Of course it is.” Luo Yaling shivered, reminding herself to stay calm. She scolded herself internally for nearly losing her composure.
“Actually, in our line of work, we hear some small news. Based on what I know, President Shen seems interested in a certain company…” Luo Yaling leaned forward, trying to speak mysteriously.
“Hmph!” Shen Yixuan responded with a dismissive sound.
This Shen Yixuan is so annoying! It’s a simple question, and he won’t even respond. So stingy.
“President Shen, I’m just repeating what I’ve heard, so you don’t need to take it seriously,” Luo Yaling emphasized. “I heard that you’re interested in a cooperation partner, specifically Tianxiang Company, currently ranked third.” She continued to make things up, hoping she’d accidentally guessed correctly.
“Oh?” Shen Yixuan narrowed his dark eyes.
He’s so composed, not willing to reveal anything. How frustrating!
“Such rumors won’t affect your company’s cooperation with them. But to eliminate these false rumors, I hope you can clarify…” Luo Yaling sought to extract information to complete her task.
“Your interview request…”
“Twenty-five minutes would be fine. Or… twenty minutes would do. I won’t waste your precious time.” She quickly modified her request upon seeing his expression. If he still refused, she’d make sure he’d regret it. Although she smiled brightly, she had cursed him in her mind.
“Actually, Miss Xiao can save those twenty minutes.”
“President Shen, you mean…” Luo Yaling’s hand clenched tightly behind her back, possibly from anger. Her smile remained bright, but her heart was in turmoil.
